EngagementLow engagement

Abstract in brief

  • The study found that the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) was not valid when used with Buddhist individuals, as it did not replicate its original structure and showed unexpected relationships.
  • Specifically, key dimensions like self-kindness and common humanity did not behave as expected among Buddhists, such as not correlating with better emotional outcomes or being linked to lovingkindness meditation practice.
  • The researchers suggested that the concept of self-compassion measured by the SCS may differ from how it is understood in Buddhism, raising questions about its appropriateness for clinical and research use in Buddhist populations.]
